Pros: large memory, self contained
Cons: too many albums can be overwhelming
The Bottom Line: Overall I think that if you're willing to shell out the cash for a good MP3 player, I would go with the Zen.

| shoppingmad's Full Review: Creative Technology Nomad Jukebox Zen NX (20 GB) M... |
My boyfriend bought me the Zen when I graduated from college. He had been using the Nomad Jukebox for years and I didn't have an MP3 player.
I have to admit, when I first got the Zen I thought, "what in the hell am I going to do with this thing". Now, however, I LOVE my MP3 player. I don't know what I'd do without it.
I've stored my entire cd collection on the player (about 200 albums) and it's still less than half full! I have it hooked up to the stereo system in my car. I live in Los Angeles so I do a lot of driving. It is really nice to have all of the music that I own at my fingertips.
I use Microsoft Media player to rip the the songs off of my cd's. If it's hooked up to the internet it automatically categorizes the music/album/artist information. When I want to listen to a certain artist I have all of their albums ready to go. If I want to listen to a certain kind of music I can just select that music and the player plays any music catagorized as "jazz", "rock", or whatever other categories that I have.
There is also a playlist feature on the player that allows you to pre-make playlists for when you're on the move. Once you put your music on the player you can access pretty much all of the features of the player without hooking it up to a computer. You really only need a computer to put the music on the player in the first place.
The only thing that I don't really like about the player is that sometimes it's hard to remember everything that I put on it. The list of albums is soooo long that I sometimes forget that I even have a CD! I rediscover a lot of my music when I browse around on my player.
